Developing for the Internet of Things (IoT) means creating devices that can collect, process and exchange data over the internet. These devices can range from smart home devices such as thermostats and lights to industrial equipment, medical devices, vehicles and more.
Development for the IoT typically involves several aspects:
Hardware: Developing electronic devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, etc.
Software on the device: Creating embedded software that controls the functionality of the device, collects data from sensors, and communicates with other devices or cloud services.
Network integration: Setting up communication media (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.) so that devices can communicate with each other or with a central system.
Cloud Services: Develop cloud-based applications and services to collect, store and analyse data from IoT devices.
Security: Ensuring that data and communications are protected from unauthorised access and attacks.
Device Management: Developing systems to remotely monitor, manage and update firmware on IoT devices.
Development for IoT has a wide range of applications and can lead to innovative products and solutions for smart cities, smart homes, industrial automation, healthcare, agricultural
